In our Buhay Regional (Regional Life) segment, we feature Shur Nabua-Smith, an Ilongga who, after years in Singapore and Russia, found true peace and success on the shores of Tasmania.
Key Points
- From City Hubs to Coastal Calm: After working as a teacher for 23 years in Singapore and over four years in Russia, Shur embraced the tranquil life of Ulverstone, known for its "small-town coastal charm".
- Entrepreneurial Triumph: Despite challenges like the cold climate and shifting careers, Shur’s hard work led her to establish her own successful Commercial Cleaning Services business.
- Community Catalyst: Beyond her business, Shur is a pillar of the local Filipino community, hosting cultural celebrations and large backyard gatherings that bring together Filipinos and local Tasmanians alike.
